clapping at Mass. I believe it to be disrespectful as Padre Pio did. And I wonder how the concept of clapping at Mass started and who thought it was a good idea?   Did they forget where they are at Mass? Inside a “house of prayer”. When did the house of prayer, the interior of a church, where the tabernacle is kept (thus the true presence of Jesus Christ )   and the altar upon which Jesus becomes flesh, become a “clubhouse” or a press room to learn about parish events, or a lecture hall for guest speakers to push their products, and ask you to donate to them. Thus leading the faithful to think … this is not a place to be transformed in mind, body and soul to the last supper and calvary (both profoundly solemn and dignified) this just a “common space for us to gather in”… read the gospel, sing a song and clap for the bishop and or a guest speaker who is present and listen to a member of the clergy crack a joke or two … and I wonder as Catholics how...

  Thought I would quote a Bible passage above … it is very trendy to do so with Zionists … so as a Catholic I thought I would add to the conversation … But I must note here I do not read from the Scofield Reference Bible … as the Zionists do … even though I rant at times about the Catholic doctrine, in a world of rampant demonic religiosity and corporate religious structures, I am team ‘St. Peter”, even though Peter’s “chain of custody”   within the hierarchy has been broken many times or rusted out … the chain still exists. And I trust Jesus Christ is aware of its need for repair. So … I am soooooooooooooo done! With Catholic spokespersons such as Bishops and priests who act like “Jewish apologists” …  I am a follower of Jesus Christ and the fullness of revelation acknowledged by St. Peter and passed down within the Catholic church and the center of this being the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist … and I echo the words of Peter… “where would I go Lord, if...

  We have been lied to … or at least mislead in my opinion to change behavioral and thought concerning the nature of God…especially post Vatican II … to be woke… but was/ is Roman Catholicism meant to be “woke” progressive? If so, it stands in stark contrast to the nature of God, makes God seem objective in nature, almost flighty reacting upon human emotions and perceptions … “thinking like man”, not like God… unstable …   there cannot be “instability” within God…   all of creation would collapse into itself,   in my opinion within the nature of God there is “no chaos” only “his will” structured and perfect beyond time and space as we know it to be, seeing totality not a snippet of time and space as we do, thus God does not “change” or bend to current human trends, and philosophes. On face value such a thought is ridiculous if you believe God to be omnipotent and preexistent reacting upon the commands of a creature (such as we all are) and not within the wisdom of hi...

  Please, sir, I want some more" is the iconic line from Charles Dickens'  Oliver Twist . It appears in Chapter 2, where a hungry nine-year-old orphan asks for more gruel, shocking the workhouse officials and leading to his punishment... Oliver Twist questions the dietary restrictions of the establishment… I question with a WTF! Mr. Sec of “war” and the military industrial complex, you send our American citizens to the Middle East to fight and die in a war for Isreal, and you cannot even provide these sailors with enough food! Shame on you ... Reports from April 2026 indicate that U.S. service members deployed on Navy warships, including the USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln, in the Middle East have been facing significant food shortages, meager rations, and poor-quality meals during the conflict with Iran.  Families and service members reported that some troops are "hungry all the time," with many meals consisting of only small portions, such as a s...

  There have been scores of people, throughout human history who have tried to “trump” God…usually such a challenge against God is done in secret. In satanic cults, criminal organizations, with self-proclaimed messiahs, like Jim Jones… Or …Elite dark and hidden networks like the Epstein pedophile network. Or in politics with lobbyists gaming the system. Backroom deals. We all know that bullshit happens. Yet at the end of the day, the battle is between God and evil. Human beings are the collateral damage in this unseen war. Rarely do you see or witness firsthand someone taking on God. I mean, we've all read about the story of Adam and Eve “don’t eat that apple” and the Tower of Babel and other challenges to God, but to live it and see it in real time is both fascinating and terrifying. We are seeing a challenge to God in real time with Donald Trump on his Truth Social, in his meme making. Don't get me wrong, I like making memes. I've done so for well over 15 years. Most ...

  Even a broken clock is right twice a day …  no one is wrong all of the time nor is anyone correct all of the time … such is the nature of humanity … humility though is being able to admit when you are wrong … as I am doing regarding Donald Trump … and why did I vote for him …. Hmmm I try to learn from my mistakes (good thing since they are so numerous) and contemplate why I have made certain decisions in life …  did  I do so out of self-preservation or how it would affect me, my family, society in general … sounds so righteous doesn’t it and the answer most would give …   Humans are basically ego centric … tribal … Mr. Trump is now a broken clock to me, which in the past I thought was an accurate time piece … seeing and verbalizing politics as they really are “swampy” and could give a rat’s ass about the public they “serve” what a misnomer   ; we “serve” them   handing over tax dollars, while the politicians choose how to use the money … or how t...
